Don't miss the new Jacques Rivette, based on Honore de Balzac's novel "Ne Touchez pas a la Hache". The story takes place during the Restoration, a period when the dominant values are hypocrisy, social niceties and the importance of appearances. Antoinette de Navarreins, a Parisian coquette and wife of Duke de Langeais, is a product of the epoch. At a ball, she meets the General Armand de Montriveau. Right from their first encounter, they fall hopelessly in love with each other. Convinced that the duchess is playing games, Montriveau decides to ignore his beloved and to take revenge.
